Great issue! Bonus: includes Daniel's work on incorporation of tagged tubulin in flagella!

Drosophila Alms1 proteins are general regulators of #centriolar cartwheel assembly, exhibiting distinct centriolar localization patterns and enabling Plk4-Ana2 interaction #RefereedPreprint c/o @reviewcommons.org by Véronique Morel, Bénédicte Durand and colleagues www.embopress.org/doi/full/10....

The protein KIF7 plays a crucial role in shaping the brain’s cortex. By fine-tuning Sonic Hedgehog signalling, it guides neuron development and connectivity. When KIF7 is missing, brain wiring is disrupted. #Neuroscience buff.ly/ZHSAeIE

Thank you @jcb.org Cynthia and Yameng for this commentary on our IFT paper!

Our collaboration with @mbonhivers.bsky.social is now out in @plosbiology.org! 🎉Using U-ExM, we mapped the formation of the flagellar pocket collar in T. brucei. Huge thanks to everyone involved — one step closer to #PhDone! #ExM #oneringtorulethemall #Bilbo1 #trypanosoma #protistsonsky

Last from the archives, scanning #electronmicroscopy pictures of #cilia in #kidney IMCD3 cells (no triton) by Rania and Thierry from @bastinlab.bsky.social. The longest straight cilium ever and two interacting ones!

Explicit content… demembraned n.k.d #cilia !!! Other examples of scanning #electronmicroscopy of triton-treated IMCD3 #kidney cells with @bastinlab.bsky.social - see also previous post.

In 2009, Rania Ghossoub in my lab and Thierry Blisnick in @bastinlab.bsky.social decided to apply a protocol used in Trypanosoma to remove membranes and have access to the axoneme, here is what they saw in IMCD3… #cilia

🤩 yes Philippe, great period around our ciliary pocket story! Some other pictures coming soon where other details can be seen…
